The KA-BAR 1258 Short Knife is a compact fixed-blade knife from KA-BAR’s established range of fighting and utility knives. Its shorter profile offers a practical alternative to the full-size KA-BAR design, while the black finish and textured synthetic handle give it a traditional tactical appearance.
The knife features a clip-point blade made from 1095 Cro-Van steel, a high-carbon steel selected for its edge-holding properties. The black Kraton G handle provides a textured grip, and the included hard plastic sheath offers a secure carrying solution. The sheath is MOLLE compatible, allowing it to be attached to compatible load-bearing equipment.
